Normal IEM maker will ask you to go for tip rolling, means try ‘every single’ ear tip in the market. I also have slightly picky ear canal, but I manage to find a few shells that suits me.

Let me know if you have access to Taobao.

I am not sure if I have access to tao bao, there is a local company that sais the are an agent but there sight is mainly really bad reviews, I was thinking something like this

I have bad experience with this kind of wire downward and plug straight into the ear. I prefer at least at a angle like Xiaomi earbuds.

I uses this, quite comfortable and good deal if you manage to find the right eartip.

The problem is one ear doesn't go in, it goes forward then in, so these shells definitely don't fit, but she did use some smaller, xiami buds for a while, sound wasn't great and that's why we started down this rabbit hole..
But those are really nice shells

@Themilkman46290

Knowles SR32453 + white damper
Take any shell which fits 6.4mm driver(yes, it looks like a dynamic)
Second thing, use spinfi cp220 or 240 twin blade or Final Audio E-type eartips


If you can(which you should), find the zobel for SR and use it.

That is EST driver

E drivers are different

E driver are Sonion version of WBFK and SWFK
E25 is WBFK replacement with 10ohm DCR and more stable impedance
E50 is SWFK replacement with 5ohm DCR and even more stable impedance.

They are sold by sonion distributor only and mostly used for hearing aid even though I find them better than WBFK and SWFK.

Oh the E driver, I did buy one off a seller before but it seems like the guy never restocked it. He has had 1 in stock for the past year. Perhaps you can ask him if he'll get more. He also has the new Knowles drivers which the A18t seems to use for mids.

The Tommy store again!!! Haha. He has very good range of Sonion Drivers.

 

[Themilkman46290]

Thanks to all you guys for helping me out, I will keep reading and make sure I understand everything you guys have said fully, i think I found a good option but will study everything twice before I order, and I guess after the order comes through I will post what I was able to come up with

Quick question, how do you get the tube on the Sr driver?

I asked him but he said he won't order them anymore, he thinks E25ST0001/D is better than E25ST0002/D. he said alot of sonion's driver from China are made in Vietnam, which is where i live ha ha. I'll contact the local branch and see what happen. I'll update later

Ah yeah back when I bought he he said it's way too quiet compared to other drivers making it a pain to tune.

So I ordered the SR32453, but can't find anything about any zobel for it, searched on Google and this thread, does a zobel exist for it, or is this something that has never been done? And can anyone pm me and explain if I must discover a zobel for it, will I need to buy 20 different resistors and 20 caps at different values. it seems this was way more effort then I had anticipated. Or is there some simply way of understanding what values I will need and I'm am just not seeing this?

Thanks
